Qualification Evaluation Forms

Illinois State Board of Education February 2007

This document provides subject area requirements in a format showing the historic changes that occurred in rules for each requirement. Each requirement set has lines where the courses the teacher completed in the subject may be written, along with the credits for each course.

• Teachers completing requirements for a subject area after 7/1/04 must meet the current requirements and they must have the endorsement listed on their certificates or they may not be assigned to the subject.

• Until 7/1/04 individuals who met requirements for a subject could choose to obtain the endorsement or they could be assigned to the subject if the district determined after reviewing the transcripts they had met the qualifications for the assignment.

• Persons who met requirements at a time when they were in effect may still be assigned to teach such subjects without obtaining the current endorsement.

• **Denotes a subject area that is a core academic area according to NCLB requirements. It is important to note that meeting NCLB requirements does not relieve the district or the teacher from the requirements of the Illinois Administrative Code for teaching any subject

The results of this evaluation should be added to the TCIS system so that teachers will have a central listing of their qualifications. Such qualifications will not be printed on certificates, but administrators and teachers may see them on the Educator Certification System (ECS). Directions for evaluating elementary and secondary teachers for requirements:

A. Completing the Qualification Evaluation Forms

The subjects listed in this document indicate requirements for teaching at the secondary level. Secondary assignments may be divided into a broad field with sub-sets of subjects included in the broad field. 1) Junior High School/Middle Grades qualifications are broad field titles of

subjects and require 18 semester hours of content courses, but usually do not require any specific distribution;

2) Where broad field subjects are divided into narrow fields, these are the secondary level assignments and a teacher is qualified only when the teacher

i. first has met the minimum number of hours required in the broad field and indicated at the beginning of the subject requirements and

ii. Met the specific requirements for the narrow field.

2

3) Where broad fields have no subdivisions, the broad field is also the secondary assignment, and the hours required at the secondary level are indicated at the beginning of each broad topic.

4) Find a set of requirements that matches the year the teacher held the certificate and became qualified in the subject and print them from the web site or copy them from this printed version. If a person failed to fully meet the requirements in existence and later takes courses under a new set of requirements, the individual must meet the requirement in effect at the time the last course was complete.

5) For each college content course completed that meets a requirement in the subject, write on the appropriate subject line, the credits and course numbers in the manner indicated at the beginning of each subject requirement set

6) At the end of each version of requirement there is a place to indicate whether the teacher qualifies at the grade level where the teacher is assigned.

7) When a broad field of requirements is subdivided into narrower endorsements for secondary level, you can indicate in which of those fields the teacher has qualified by circling the number at the end of the set corresponding to the number of the endorsement where qualifications have been met.

8) The agency will apply a single methods course dealing with teaching the subject in question; for instance,” teaching language arts” could be applied to the requirements for language arts.

9) A major is as listed on the transcript of a university where a degree has been obtained or it can be a constructed major of 32 semester hours of aggregated work in the subject.

10) All credits required are listed in semester hours; if an institution is on quarter hours, multiply the quarter hours by 2/3 to determine the equivalent semester hours.

11) Generally, the department in which the course is offered will determine the subject where a course is placed. Courses that are cross listed in more than one department may be applied to requirements in subjects appropriate to each.

Adding an “Endorsement Qualification” to TCIS

TCIS has been enhanced to allow the entry of “Endorsement Qualifications”. An Endorsement Qualification is not an endorsement and will not be printed on certificates. An “Endorsement Qualification” will be the method of entering data on TCIS to indicate that an educator met previous assignment qualifications, but does not hold the endorsement. It supports the “Once Qualified, Always Qualified” policy ISBE. The target audience for this data is veteran teachers who met qualifications to teach subjects prior to the issuance of endorsements and testing. A good example is John Smith, a 25-year veteran high school math teacher. He holds a standard-level, type 09 secondary teaching certificate with no endorsements. He received his original secondary teaching certificate in 1980 and his district, through transcript evaluation, determined that he had met the 20 semester hours of math courses necessary to qualify him to teach secondary math in 1980. This data will be used throughout the state for two functions. The first is to allow district administrators to verify on OTIS that the educator is qualified to be assigned to teach this subject even though he does not hold the endorsement. The second reason this data is being captured is to aide in NCLB Highly Qualified under HOUSSE. Accumulating 100 HOUSSE points is another way veteran teachers can become highly qualified without passing a subject matter test or holding a major in the subject area. If we have this data in TCIS we will be able to automatically award these points. These points are one piece of the HOUSSE formula. To determine whether or not an educator met the requirements, review the appropriate section of this document for the specific subject qualification, place appropriate courses in the worksheet and make your determination according to the requirements in place at the time the person completed them. To add an Endorsement Qualification to TCIS open the Application Entry Screen and enter the SSN# of the educator. Click on the Other Approvals Tab. Click on the <Add> Button under the Qualifications frame.

4

Select the appropriate Endorsement. Select the appropriate Grade Level keeping in mind to only select Middle Grades if the educator completed the 2 middle grades courses. Next, enter the Date Qualified. This is the date that they would have qualified; for example, the date they completed the last course where the requirements were completed. You may not know the exact date since most transcripts list Spring, Summer, Fall semester and the year. If this is the case use 06/01/ for Spring, 08/31/ for Summer, and 12/31/ for Fall or some date that is close to the completion of the coursework. Finally, click the <OK> button.

Read the statement presented and click the <Yes> Button.

5

You will now see that the Endorsement Qualification has been added to TCIS along with the user id and ROE number of the person who added the data to TCIS. In the very near future you will also see them displayed on the Active Teacher Reports (which are generally used in compliance visits) and online on OTIS.

Under no circumstances will these Endorsement Qualifications be printed on certificates. If the educator wants an endorsement listed on his certificate he will have to apply for the endorsement and meet the current requirements.

Summary 1. Click on “Open” on the menu bar at the top. 2. Click on “Application Entry” in the drop down list. 3. Click on the tab marked “Other Approvals”; you will see “Qualifications” on the box

at the right half. 4. Click on “Add” in the lower right corner of the Qualifications box. A box will open

called “Create Qualification”

5. Click on “Type” and select from the drop down box or type in the alpha code that is correct for the qualification you wish to add taken from the worksheet you have completed.

6. Click on “Grade Level” and pick middle grades, junior high school or senior high school according to the grade level of the qualification for which the teacher qualifies.

7. In “Qual Date” enter the approximate date that the teacher met the requirement. 8. Check your work and if it is accurate, click on OK; if changes are necessary, make

them in the appropriate fields and click on OK 9. Read the statement and click the appropriate response.

Requirements for Elementary Teachers

1958 Self Contained Classroom Teachers: Must hold a valid elementary certificate

1977-Present Elementary teachers must hold a valid certificate for the grade level assigned. For teachers first assigned an elementary position on or after September 1, 1978, the teacher in a self-contained classroom must have a course in each basic instructional area taught

Junior High School

1958 Junior High School: Sixteen (16) semester hours in each subject taught.

1971 18 semester hours in the area of major teaching assignment, including at least 5 semester hours in each course where subject matter areas are divided into two or more specific courses. When a school is departmentalized in part, the requirement only applies to the departmentalized teachers.

Middle Grades

1996 18 semester hours in the subject matter area of major teaching assignment (e.g., language arts, mathematics, general science, social science, music). Where a teacher is assigned to deliver instruction in two areas (e.g., English and social science or mathematics and science), the teacher shall meet the requirements of this subsection for one area and have no fewer than 5 semester hours in the other instructional area. Agency Note: (1) The five semester hour requirement can be fulfilled with one course in the subject. (2) If a person teaches in two assignments comprising equal parts of the day or if a person teaches in more than two subjects, such that no subject comprises 50% or more of a day, then the district must designate one of the assignments as being the major assignment

1997-Present

Junior High School Requirements Prior to July 1, 1997 Requirements for teachers to teach in the middle grades changed on July 1, 1997. Individuals who were certificated prior to that date and who met the requirements for teaching at the junior high school level will continue to be eligible for assignment in a middle grade position in the subjects for which they met qualifications. Endorsements issued showing completion of these requirements are indicated on the certificate under the heading of “Upper Elementary/Junior High.” Requirements for Middle Grade Teachers After July 1, 1997 After July 1, 1997, the requirements for teaching at the middle grades are 18 semester hours of credit in the subject matter area of major teaching assignment (e.g., language arts, mathematics, general science, social science, music); in some cases, the 18 semester hours requires a specific distribution of coursework. These areas with elementary course distributions are included in the following section on secondary level teaching requirements. In most cases the 18 semester hours has no distribution requirement in the subject area. Where a teacher is assigned to deliver instruction in two areas (e.g., language arts and social science, or mathematics and science), the teacher shall meet the 18 semester hours in one area and have 9 semester hours of coursework in the other instructional area. The middle grade teacher must also complete

• 3 semester hours of coursework in middle school philosophy, curriculum and instructional methods for designing and teaching developmentally appropriate programs in the middle grades, including content area reading instruction, and

• 3 semester hours of coursework in educational psychology focusing on the developmental characteristics of early adolescents and the role of the middle grade teacher in assessment, coordination and referral of students to health and social services. These courses must be completed at senior level institutions. Note: a list of Illinois courses meeting these requirements can be found on our website at http://www.isbe.net/certification/middle_grade/msinfo.htm .

You can use this area to show if a person has met the middle grades courses: Middle School Philosophy,etc.___________________________ Middle School Educational Psychology, etc.___________________________________ It is Agency policy: • that persons with upper elementary/junior high school endorsements or qualifications

before July 1, 1997, qualify to teach the same areas in middle grades without meeting new middle grades course requirements

• that persons meeting requirements for teaching in a new area after July 1, 1997, must meet the requirements for middle grades, including persons completing qualifications
